Trade Review“[Compared to other texts] This text is the most user-friendly and thorough, covering what our faculty agree are the most crucial strategies that our students need to practice.” – Ana Torres, Texas Tech University
“Students love the strategies because they can adapt them to their specific needs.”
– Tom Salsbury, Washington State University
“[The book] provides my pre-service teachers with strategies they will begin using as soon as they have their first ELL.”
– Daniel Gilhooly, University of Central Missouri
“The main strength of the 50 Strategies book is the plethora of strategies and examples of how they can be used with ELLs. The set up of each strategy, listing the steps, and providing benefits makes it more comprehensible for the students... I have always loved this book.”
